Decades and Decades Two

A favorite of both Oscar-night celebrities and everyday fashionistas, this airy, bi-level boutique specializes in fabulous vintage womenswear. Decades Two, the newer consignment shop downstairs, stocks items designed since the 1980's—such as Rick Owens leather jackets, Chloe handbags, and never-worn Chanel suits. The upstairs atelier, however, is stocked with designer gowns that date back to the 1920's (and that have graced many a red carpet—remember that hot-pink Bob Mackie gown that Jada Pinkett Smith wore to the SAG awards earlier this year?). Vintage accessories, like a set of original Louis Vuitton hard luggage and an oversize YSL gold-and-red-flower statement necklace, are also for sale, and are in mint condition.

Tip: Bargain hunters should beware: prices upstairs, while 50 to 70 percent off retail, are still sky-high.
